I am not a big fan of franz ferdinand but I had to admire them when they turned down a huge offer my a multi national corp. They stuck to there guns and believes....
I cannot stand when a band sells out for money and especially email people to vote for them in the Bay Radio Awards (it makes me sick) are they in it for the love of music and art or are they in a some kind of sport which is imperative to win...for me all these awards shite which is happening in Malta is full of shit, including when I won whith the Characters (if Malta had a huge market then maybe its understandable but not when the market is non existent)

Even REM turned down HUGE offers. that quote you pasted defeats your whole argument too Gustav. The bands you mentioned are full timers that live off music. (which still isn't a good enough excuse to lend your songs to ANY promotional campaign. I believe one should choose his promotional campaigns wisely) No Maltese bands ever lived or will live off music.
Listen Gustav, are you sure that White Stripes and Modest Mouse own the rights to their music though? (just for curiosity's sake) Cause from what I gather not too many bands have the right to say yes or no to any of their material utilised for promos.

well white penned a tune specifically for the coke advert so it seems to have been an autonomous decision..
i'm not sure about modest mouse but brock is quoted saying that since he loves drinking beer he doesn't find anything wrong with licensing 'gravity rides everything' for a miller genuine draft commercial.
heaven citizen nick drake licensed pink moon for a Volkswagen advert five years ago.. irrefutable evidence that its ethically sound

i would nto have a problem lending a song to a beer advert ifhem
filfatt ma kont iddejjaqt xejn meta l-characters ghamlu hekk
qas ghal volkswagen nahseb ma niddejjaq
Ma jidhirlix li dawn iz-zewg intraprizi jaghmlu xi abbuzi partikolari fil-konfront tad-drittijiet umani (qas il-coke - ghalkhemm ma jienx 100% cert fuq dan)
Izda fuq Mc Donalds tghallimna bizzejjed nahseb illum.
(Vaso Rossi ghandu song fuq il-coca. Bollicine jisimha. Pop song brillanti)

Modest mouse dont own the rights to their sony related material. The other stuff is their own.At least thats what I read in a MM interview a while a go.
Vashti bunyan and Daniel johnston have liscenced their songs for adverts as well - both for cars.

It's not about endorsing this and that. These sell outs are only valid when the music is also bad.
Eg. Ira Losco - Bad music + Big Commercial Endorsements = BAD.

ifhem jien ma jogbuniex anqas il winter moods u narahom (specjalment dak il kantant l-ghandom) iriduwa ta xi Allat. Allat taz zobb fil fhema tieghi.
Dal bicca kantant lghandom jghid li l-banda favorita tieghu ijja l-U2 u diska favorita ijja One. Pero jghid li l-Winter Moods ma wafqux hemm imma aggornaw maz zminijiet u issa dan l-ostja kantant jghid li jhossu influwenzat hafna minn bands bhal Keanu, Live u Snow Patrol.
U ghidlu jhallina u jmur jiehu Big Mac

ifhem. m'hemm l-ebda misthija tghid li One hija s-song favurita tieghek. Personalment inhoss li hija song kbira. Anzi....kbirissima (u naghzel li ninjora l-overkill taghha u l-balla covers irritatni u tedjanti)
u filfatt il-kantant tal-Winter Moods jidher bniedem pjuttost sew. Li jdejjaqni huwa it-tattici zejda sabiex jingiebu mal-udjenza (lil hinn mil-muzika medjokri u riciklata taghhom)
Ikun sabih kieku kulhadd jirrealizza li l-Winter Moods huma band minghajr immaginazzjoni ta xejn. Dak kollox.

Listening to the album a few days ago, I thought it was one song stuck on repeat.
To my delight, it wasn't.
How charming!
